New Player Advice - eviltoast

Like in the title I’m a new player and just looking for some advice. Back in 2018 when discord offered game I played then but really on started the fortuna quest and ofc the earth dungeons to get there. I just did the fortuna quest where thursby becomes legs and then a few dungeon quests. I also let the impulsive thoughts win and bought the gauss warframe and have been having fun with it :). I also got 3 relics from defending a cryopod, look like mossy orbs but I opened them when a mission had this swooshy icon over it (idk how to describe it) and I collected 10 rift thingys each to open them. I have no idea what I did but I got blueprints so I’m assuming I did something right

But any friendly tips? Is there any particular area (like free roam vs dungeons) I should be focusing on. Is there more than one story quest line per planet In free roam like the one with the iron rose in the box on earth or the aforementioned fortuna quest

I’m just kinda going from place to place progressing though dungeons but I lost and just feel like I’m kinda stumbling forward in the dark with no goal other than just go here and give em the ol swish swish stab stab bow l chicka bow wow

Edit: forgot to mention back when I briefly played in 2018 through discord I played Sayrin to Sayron, the disease or fungus idk one simply because poison damage seemed nice among other obvious reasons, but is she any good to play compared to gauss prime

    Don’t make the same mistake I made. When progressing through the story, you’ll eventually unlock an operator. I won’t say what it is, but when you do unlock your operator don’t ignore them, get a decent amp and amp parts and level them up. Quest Lines later will require use of your amp and void powers associated with the operator.

      Ok so operators are important whatever they are

      I’m assuming it will be obvious when I have one of the mysterious things

      Edit: also thanks for no spoilers

      Completing a certain very long and cinematic quest will reward your operator with an amp that can clear most if not all content. Remembering to equip that has been good enough for me, I haven’t done any grind yet and I’m doing endgame stuff.

        I had a really hard time with the umbra quest and an under leveled amp, to the point where I legit cheesed one of the fights by hiding at the top of a giant tree statue. I don’t want to spoil it for the OP, but what quest would that be?
